Default Big "Up" to Thunder Road (Bridgend)

The nice people at Thunder Road fixed my bike; they unseized the clutch lever/bolt, cleaned the housing out, greased and rebuilt the assembly.

They also checked the alignment of the rear wheel and adjusted the chain.

Total cost = £0.00



Worthy of mention I feel, particularly since they are main dealers for Suzuki and (the superior) Honda brands

I don't suppose that you will ever consider buying another bike from them, and I can't imagine that you looked longingly at brand new stock, and said in a loud voice "I'd love one of these, maybe in the spring"

Yeah, i like that place...

The bloke who learnd'ed me to ride works there now, fella called Tyson. I doubt hes in the mechanics bit tho, he didnt know crap about how bikes worked.

Took mine for the first service at Bevans (where i bought it). Came back with the oil level so low that it didnt even show up in the window. i had to chuck another litre in(almost) before it even got to the low mark . brand new 06 bike.

ill take it to thunder road for the 3rd (did the 2nd myself).

Its always good to hear of a positive dealer experience, makes a change from all the dealer bashing we've had recently.

Nice one
